Title: Frank Herman READ
Post by: annabananae on Thursday 15 April 10 05:11 BST (UK)
Helllo,

I am researching my ancestor FRANK HERMAN READ who was married to Emily Margrette Pierce. They had a daughter Ethel Clair Read who was born 1895 in Sydney, NSW. She married in 1920 and quoted her parents as manufacturer. Any information would be most welcome.
